Experience the festival
International and local artists, the community on stage together, in one of the most breathtaking corners of the Highlands. That’s Killin Music Fest.
How good it was. I would have come years ago.

About the festival
Killin Music Fest isn't like other festivals. Set in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, it’s built from the ground up by and for the community of Killin - where local performers share the stage with national and international artists, and where everyone from toddlers to grandparents feels at home.
Less than an hour north of Stirling, Killin is a small village with a very big heart. The festival brings its different facets together for one weekend every June and has done so since 2016. Be part of it.
It re-ignited our love of live music.

Great to be at a very village orientated event. Felt like the town was very much at the centre of all that happened.

The sound of Killin
Hear what Killin Music Fest sounds like. Past and confirmed artists from across the years.
From our festival family
There are a lot of events that brand themselves as ‘community festivals’ - Killin is very much a community festival to its soul.
Already in that festival, the sense of community in this town is absolutely incredible. Everybody’s really chatty and friendly. Drinks are flowing, and everybody’s having a great time.
That’s what it’s all about. Bringing all the different facets of the community together for one big weekend. It’s a real community celebration.
The Festival
Laughter between strangers - that's Killin Music Fest.

A young local boy sitting next to me during Celtic Kin said he was going to learn to play the fiddle.

Artists across the years
Since 2016, these artists have graced the stage at Killin Music Fest. From iconic Scottish acts to rising local talent, this is the company you’ll be keeping.
As I get older I realise just how much heritage and culture we have on our doorsteps. The festival has opened my eyes to what we have as a country to offer.

Make a weekend of it
You’re not just choosing a gig. You’re choosing a weekend in one of the most spectacular parts of Scotland. Here’s what’s on your doorstep.
Locals are fantastic. Remember us from the previous year.

A five-minute walk from the venue. The falls run through the heart of the village and are among the most photographed in Scotland.
The ancient burial island of Clan MacNab, sitting in the middle of the Falls of Dochart. Visible from the old bridge in the village centre.
The atmospheric ruins of the Campbells’ 17th-century stronghold, a short walk north of the village along the River Lochay.
Riverside playground and picnic area right in the village. Ideal for families - let the kids run while you take in the mountain views.
Killin has a handful of excellent places to eat and drink. Come early, stay late, and let the village take care of the rest.
A scenic nine-hole course with mountain views at every turn. Visitors welcome - clubs available to hire.
Scotland’s tenth highest mountain sits nearby on the north of Loch Tay. A clear day from the summit takes in most of the southern Highlands.
Kayaking, paddleboarding, boat trips and wild swimming on one of Scotland’s most beautiful lochs - minutes from the village.
The old railway viaduct trail, often called Scotland’s mini Glenfinnan. A spectacular walk with panoramic views of the glen.
A beautifully preserved 19th-century longhouse cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, just a short walk from the village.
A reconstructed Iron Age dwelling built on stilts over Loch Tay near Kenmore. A hands-on journey into Scotland’s ancient past.
The resting place of Scotland’s most famous outlaw, at Balquhidder - a short scenic drive south through Glen Ogle.
The Glen Lochay and Loch Tay trails offer everything from gentle lochside strolls to full-day hill walks. Something for all abilities.
The River Dochart and Loch Tay are renowned for salmon and trout. Day permits are available locally - bring your rod.
Red deer, red squirrels and birds of prey in the surrounding glens. Keep your eyes on the hillsides - you won’t be disappointed.
Very low light pollution makes Killin proper dark sky country. On a clear night the Milky Way is visible with the naked eye.
Caber tossing, tug-of-war and Highland dancing - a highlight of the village calendar since 1994.
A traditional show celebrating Highland farming, livestock and rural crafts. A proper day out for all the family.
